The Lammermuirs Top is inspired by the range of rolling hills that welcome visitors to the Scottish Borders. Wonderfully rich in wildlife, history and beautiful landscapes, in midsummer they are covered by a blanket of heather in bloom.

Lammermuirs is the perfect summer top for light strolls, using shiny hand-dyed Tencel yarn to keep the body cool.

Sample shown in size 2 with 5 cm/2 inches of negative ease.

Note: Tencel is a very drapey fibre and will hug your figure. Take this into account when choosing your size. For a more structured fabric consider using cotton or wool and select a size that gives you 2–5 cm/0.75–2 inches of positive ease.

Tencel: Designed to be worn with 0–2 cm/0–0.5 inches of negative ease.
Wool/cotton: Designed to be worn with 0–5 cm/0–2 inches of positive ease.
